  • Heroes Rise, one hundred eighty-first entry: Jeff and the Fun Guys

     Welcome, brave adventurers...

    ... to the one hundred eighty-first entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, September 11th, and released Wednesday, September 15th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

    In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ostron rolls his way through a dungeon.

    Next we check out some D&D News as we uncover everything that’s leaked out of the feywild. [Someone's gonna need to clean that up.]

    After that we take a Short Rest and head into the Archives of Candlekeep to learn all about hags; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

    Last Week’s Community Questions, A Reminder

    So of the leaks that we covered, what interested you the most? Do you want a sentient vorpal sword? Do you hate clowns and living dolls? Do you want your own chorus of mushrooms?

    What’s your take on hopping bunnies? Is the ability something that grants bonus movement, or is it subtracting from the character’s base movement?

  • Heroes Rise, one hundred eightieth entry: Dicing with Ryu Flu
    Welcome, brave adventurers... ... to the one hundred eightieth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, September 4th, and released Wednesday, September 8th, over at heroesrisepodcast.com. In this week’s show, three goats in a trench coat are at the door demanding bacon sandwiches. (loud banging, ratcheting sounds and muffled incantations) While Ryu is recovering from the Ryu Flu, there are dice, dice envy, dice-cussions (ha!) and other dice-topian horrors (ha ha!) to revisit. LinksDice EnvyArtisan DiceLevel Up Dice Last Week’s Community Questions, A ReminderIf you weren’t able to join us, we still want to hear from you! What do you think the real purpose of the Wizards’ PHB survey was? Is it retroactive review of their publication, are they planning on releasing a new, revised version, or is there a deeper, more mysterious motive? If you could go in with some erasers and a marker, what is the one thing you would change about an original class from the PHB?
